Topics (PDF:1084KB) Efforts to counter vehicles travelling in the wrong direction on expressways – Traffic safety measures in view of the increase in elderly people with Traveling in the wrong direction on expressways occurs once everyi 2 days and miserable accidents occur in which not only the driver operating a car in the wrong direction, but also the driver operating correctly suffers damage. So far, physical and visual measures have been taken in places where reverse traveling frequently occurs. However in a social situation where aging progresses and the dementia issue have become obvious, however, wrong-way driving accidents on expressways have not been eliminated completely. In the future, a variety of efforts will be promoted to completely eliminate all wrong-way driving accidents on expressways by 2020 through the common recognition of the issue by all population groups and based on road-vehicle coordination Occurrence status of wrong-way driving About 200 cases of wrong-way driving on expressways occur every year and about 20% of them result in accidents. About 70% of drivers that caused the wrong-way accidents were elderly people of 65 years old and over.

Measures to Prevent Traffic Accidents of Elderly People The police ensures safety of elderly pedestrians and bicycle users through the promotion of measures for community road including the Zone 30*, development of barrier free traffic lights, and establishment of an environment for bicycle transit. In addition, the police also promote the development of traffic environment which allows elderly drivers to drive a car safely and securely by means of an increase in luminance and size of road signs, use of LEDs of traffic lights, and operation of the parking section system reserved for elderly drives. Moreover, in light of an increase in importance of public transport as a means to transfer for elderly people, efforts are underway to regenerate and revitalize community public transport in coordination with relevant organizations. In addition, not only the provision of individual guidance to elderly people and others who do not have a driving license or who have not had the opportunity to receive traffic safety education at road crossings with frequent accidents, but also the promotion of traffic safety education to elderly people based on participation, experience and practice are actively carried out. Elderly drivers are provided with training courses according to their driving characteristics and characteristics of traffic accidents in classes and training courses for elderly people when renewing their licenses. In addition, in order to promote measures to prevent traffic accidents of elderly drivers of 75 years old and over whose number of traffic accidents tend to increase, • Introduction of an extra cognitive functioning test for older drivers of 75 years old and over who commit a certain violation of law ‚ Introduction of an extra training course for older drivers who are judged in an extra cognitive functioning test to be impaired for driving a car due to a decrease in their cognitive functions ƒ A review of system to make it possible to order those who are judged to have the potential to suffer dementia by a cognitive functioning test to take a special aptitude test (diagnosis by a specialized doctor) or to submit a medical certificate prepared by doctor regardless of their history of violations. The “Law to Partially Amend the Road Transport Act” (Act No. 40 of 2015) with the content was published in June 2015. In combination with the present revision, not only the provision of seminars to older drivers of 70 to 75 years old and older drivers of 75 years old and over who are judged in an extra cognitive functioning test that their cognitive function is not suspected of being reduced will be streamlined, but also the content of seminars to those older drivers who are judged in an extra cognitive functioning test that their cognitive function is suspected of being reduced will be enhanced. [New Measures for Elderly Drivers] Result of a cognitive functioning In case of particular traffic violations that are typically observed in cognitive functionally test declined . Taking an extra cognitive functioning test Those whose cognitive functions has not declined When the cognitive functions judged to have declined enough to affect their ability to drive Those whose cognitive function may have declined Attending an extra training course (including an individualized guidance etc.) Those whose problem may be Diagnosis by a doctor due to dementia Person of 75 years old and over * Zone 30 The system is designed to establish the zone to limit the maximum speed to 30 kilometers/hour and install and expand side strips in order to control the speed within the zone and restrict and exclude through traffic within the zone by implementing traffic restrictions such as the prohibition of transit and installing bumps accordingto the actual status of the road traffic of the zone. 64 Ⅱ 平成 28 年度交通安全施策に関する計画 [Case] The Fukui Prefectural Police implements measures to reduce traffic accidents of elderly drivers using a drive recorder. Drive recorders are lent for a predetermined period (about 1 week) to elderly drivers of 75 years old and over who drive a private automobile regularly, and based on the recorded video of the drive recorder mounted on the automobile driven by elderly drivers, policemen diagnose their driving technique and provide safe driving guidance in order to make them become aware of their driving problems.

  • The Workings of Maglev: a New Way to Travel
    THE WORKINGS OF MAGLEV: A NEW WAY TO TRAVEL Scott Dona Amarjit Singh Research Report UHM/CE/2017-01 April 2017 The Workings of Maglev: A New Way to Travel Page Left Blank ii Scott Dona and Amarjit Singh EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Maglev is a relatively new form of transportation and the term is derived from magnetic levitation. This report describes what maglev is, how it works, and will prove that maglev can be successfully constructed and provide many fully operational advantages. The different types of maglev technology were analyzed. Several case studies were examined to understand the different maglev projects whether operational, still in construction, or proposed. This report presents a plan to construct a maglev network using Maglev 2000 vehicles in the United States. A maglev system provides energy, environmental, economic, and quality of life benefits. An energy and cost analysis was performed to determine whether maglev provides value worth pursuing. Maglev has both a lower energy requirement and lower energy costs than other modes of transportation. Maglev trains have about one-third of the energy requirement and about one- third of energy cost of Amtrak trains. Compared to other maglev projects, the U.S. Maglev Network would be cheaper by a weighted average construction cost of $36 million per mile. Maglev could also be applied to convert the Honolulu Rail project in Hawaii from an elevated steel wheel on steel rail system into a maglev system. Due to the many benefits that Maglev offers and the proof that maglev can be implemented successfully, maglev could be the future of transportation not just in the United States but in the world.

Technical analysis shows that the 9.03 trillion yen. The first stage object is to Linear Shinkansen constitutes not only an start service on the Tokyo-Nagoya 286 kms extraordinarily costly but also an abnormally sector by 2027, for an investment of 5.43 energy-wasting project, consuming in operation trillion yen. Overall completion of the line between four and five times as much power as through to Osaka, under the revised Abe the Tokaido Shinkansen which already provides government plan, is to occur in 2037.2 high speed rail connection. Since the 1960s, Japan’s major construction projects have become vastly more costly and less efficient. Deficit-breeding, energy-wasting, environmentally-destructive, and technologically unreliable, the Linear Shinkansen project must be considered a guaranteed fiasco, with the potential not only of its own collapse but of bringing the Tokaido Shinkansen down too. Keywords: Linear Shinkansen, Maglev, Construction State, Primary Energy Supply, Total Industrial Output 1. Linear Shinkansen: Upgrade to National Project Route Map of the Linear Shinkansen On August 2, 2016, Japan's Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and his cabinet decided on 28.2 trillion yen worth of economic measures described as At the Ise-Shima G7 Summit in May 2016, an “investment for the future”.
